“Infectious, energetic, and fun. This band has it all!” - Darryl Mar, Artistic Director, Victoria Jazz Society

Band leader Nick La Riviere’s biggest influence comes from modern New Orleans music… not the older dixie music some people think of when they hear ‘New Orleans’, but the fun, horn-heavy music people are partying to there now. The music is all about having a good time, keeping the energy high the whole show. Nick’s originals are like if Trombone Shorty met Ben Folds – wild horn solos, piano-based grooves and melodic vocals. The band also plays their own take on tunes by great artists like Sly and the Family Stone. Featuring vocals, trumpet, sax, trombone, guitar, piano/synth, bass, drums – and sometimes conch shells or wine glasses, the 7-piece band delivers a big, powerful sound.

An accomplished trombonist, Nick has toured internationally with bands such as the Juno award-winning Paperboys, Michael Kaeshammer, 54-40, and Adonis Puentes. With gigs at the Vancouver Island Music Festival, Dream Café, Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, he’s is one of the busiest bandleaders around.

Unique instrumentation and arrangements make the Nick La Riviere Band a musical success story. Audiences are dazzled by the group’s versatility as they perform everything from jazz to pop, standards and originals. Their high energy show is guaranteed to appeal to a wide range of musical tastes.
